I want a toilet that flushes! When I have enough money, I hope to go to Canada and get one. Here is a simple suggestion of what we could do, however. Since the enviro-wackos have already immobilized most of our toilets anyway, we should use Clinton pots [formerly called chamber pots] and have a special, metal container to mass collect the waste. The container should be on sturdy wheels, possibly with a trailor hitch, because when it's close to full, we wheel the contents to the nearest enviro-wacko neighbor and allow our enviro-friendly neighbor to flush it for us. Our neighbor could even be paid what would normally go to the septic tank guy. But anyone who doesn't pay taxes can have the service for free.

One problem, cleaning up the Clinton pot. It's kind of like trying to cover up all the Clinton crimes. Something gets dirty in the smelly process.

If you want a good toilet that meets current standards, try Toto. They go for about $400, but they work great.

Get on down to the local salvage yard. You probably don't have to buy a whole toilet...just the tank. Check the distance between the two bolts that hold your water-saving toilet's tank to the base, and the diameter of the hole at the bottom of the tank.

Then, find a larger tank that will fit. They're pretty standard, actually. Clean it up, put in a new flushing mechanism, and install it.

I put a 3-gallon tank on my Toto 1.7 gal toilet. It will now flush anything smaller than a cat.

An alternative is to ask your plumber about a commercial toilet. These are noisier in flushing than a normal household toilet, but flush much better. They're also about three times as expensive, but it might be worth it.
